Not sure about fidesmo, but you can check if your device is apatch-eable, as it reportedly can fool safetynet.

Upstream Linux Developers Take Aim At TUXEDO's Out-Of-Tree GPLv3 Drivers in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Yeah, but dudes there are kinda pissed off about semantics, IMO. Like, unless there's a PR from tuxedo using the same v3, I don't think it should concern them in the slightest... And instead of saying "keep in mind it's not upstreamable" they go out of their way to mark tuxedo's patches as proprietary 🤨

Do you seriously expect tinfoilheads to be capable of cost-benefit analysis?

Zerocam zero-process camera launches on Android in c/android@lemmy.world

The Zerocam app has been on iOS since earlier this year and has already amassed a loyal user base that swears by the limited processing look.

With the free tier, you can only take 5 photos per day, but an annual $9.99 or $0.99 fee unlocks truly unlimited process-free photos.

*sigh* I fucking hate those sheeple.

Where my (BUS) drivers at? in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Me a few yeas back: cycling in the evening on the highway in black clothes while its raining. In hindsight, I'm shocked the only time I've got a concussion was while riding in the forest of all places.

Clevo reseller wants get coreboot ported, ends up throwing a temper tantrum and banning Germany, Poland, Texas and AMD over unsatisfactory experience (www.malibal.com)

While the whole exchange must've sucked for them, I've found their reaction extremely amusing at times, especially the carpet banning for life of everyone within a country/state to the offending party. But hey, that'll definitely show AMD how to hire those coreboot developers

Unlocking the bootloader of some Qualcomm devices when the display is broken, PoC (github.com)
 

Just thought I'd share. Probably nothing new or fancy, but may help some of you find a way to repurpose devices that aren't worth repairing into home servers or something: e.g. op5 I've used has better CPU compared to raspberry pi 4, can run linux (postmarketos, albeit with some caveats), and costs less if bought with broken display (or nothing if you have one lying around)

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup? (lemmy.ml)
 

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it's 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you're about to execute... And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought bouncing in your head: "damn, what did I expect to happen?".

Off the top of my head I remember 2 of those. Both happened a while ago, so I don't remember all the details, unfortunately.

For the warmup, removing PAM. I was trying to convert my artix install to a regular arch without reinstalling everything. Should be kinda simple: change repos, install systemd, uninstall dinit and it's units, profit. Yet after doing just that I was left with some PAM errors... So, I Rdd-ed libpam instead of just using --overwrite. Needless to say, I had to search for live usb yet again.

And the one at least I find quite funny. After about a year of using arch I was considering myself a confident enough user, and it so happened that I wanted to install smth that was packaged for debian. A reasonable person would, perhaps, write a pkgbuild that would unpack the .deb and install it's contents properly along with all the necessary dependencies. But not me, I installed dpkg. The package refused to either work or install complaining that the version of glibc was incorrect... So, I installed glibc from Debian's repos. After a few seconds my poor PC probably spent staring in disbelief at the sheer stupidity of the meatbag behind the keyboard, I was met with a reboot, a kernel panic, and a need to find another PC to flash an archiso to a flash drive ('cause ofc I didn't have one at the time).

Anyways, what are your stories?
